      A "bar chart race": each tick re-sorts the entities by value and updates
      the chart. The bars slide to their new ranks and the left-hand category
      labels ride along with them (automatic whenever a reorder update runs with
      <code>dynamicAnimation</code> enabled). The value labels also ride each
      bar and count up/down, via the opt-in <code>dataLabels.animate</code> and
      <code>dataLabels.countUp</code> flags: together these complete the race.
